A Place to Call Home: Immigrants, Refugees, and Displaced Peoples
March 19 – 22, 2010 in Washington D.C.
"and Jesus said to him, 'Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.'" -Luke 9:58
Jesus had no place to lay his head. Neither do tens of millions of migrants, refugees and displaced persons. Be a part of an action weekend addressing this global injustice. Join hundreds of faith-based advocates in taking action on U.S. legislation that will welcome immigrants, protect refugees, and prevent displacement of millions.
Participants will worship, study and dialog together. There will be special events for Presbyterians and other denominations as well as times for people to meet and plan in state groups.
On Monday, participants will visit Capitol Hill to advocate for our members of Congress to remedy these global injustices.
The conference will be held at the DoubleTree Hotel in Crystal City, VA just outside Washington, DC.

Let mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it. -Hebrews 13:1-2
